Chapter 111: I'm afraid that the heavens of Jingzhou City are about to change
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
But no matter how much you imitate it, there will still be flaws in your own voice. Wei Lingfeng thought carefully in his mind, the emperor's voice just now sounded the same, but there was no emotion.
Like a chainsaw sawing wood, the mechanical one doesn't seem to belong to ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Wei Lingfeng couldn't help but secretly clench his palms.
The sky of this Jingzhou City is afraid that it is going to change.
It has snowed heavily for several days in a row, and in the blink of an eye, it will be the New Year. Before evening, the Weiguo Mansion set up the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early. Wei Ning finished dealing with the day's affairs and walked towards the lobby of the Weiguo Mansion.
Wei Guogong and Yang were already seated at the edge of the table. Wei Ning saw that the table was already full of maid cloth, she sat down on the chair, and immediately a maid brought a gold and copper basin to clean her hands.
Wei Ning looked at the circle sitting on the edge of the table, but didn't see Wei Lingfeng, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Shu Jin behind him: "The prince hasn't come back yet?" ”
Shu Jin whispered in Wei Ning's ear: "Yunkai went to the study just now, but he hasn't come back yet." ”
Although Shu Jin's voice was very small, Wei Ning was sitting beside Yang. When Yang heard Wei Ning's question, he also interjected: "That's it, it's almost time to start eating, why hasn't Feng'er come back yet?" Master, do you want to send someone to the barracks to ask? ”
"No need. He's been busy lately. Wei Guogong took the tea handed by the maid next to him and took a sip, "Recently, there have been a lot of refugees in Jingzhou City, and the emperor ordered him to settle the refugees." It's not too late now, and I'm probably going to be back. ”
"Master, the son of the world is indeed hard. But Yu'er has not been heard from since she was released. Now it's the New Year, and the concubine is really worried about Yu'er. Master, since Yu'er didn't deliver the letter back, why don't you send someone to ask? ”
Chan interjected on the side.
When Wei Ning heard what Chan said, the hand holding the spoon paused, Wei Lingyu was released from the outside, and there was indeed no news at all. She was really curious about that.
Wei Guogong's face sank, and he glanced at Chan, and his gaze was so cold that Chan involuntarily shrank back.
"Yu'er was entrusted with a heavy task by the emperor, how could he let this little thing interfere with him? You are a woman, do your own thing, men's business, you don't care! ”
Wei Guogong scolded Chan in front of everyone, and Chan was suddenly aggrieved. Yang's face was also full of unhappiness, and after Wei Lingyu left, she didn't know how happy she was in her heart. Although this concubine is always respectful to her on the surface, she doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart. The Yang family has always felt that he is not a simple character, Wei Guogong has just two sons under his knees, and now that he is gone, Wei Lingfeng is left alone, she thinks it is naturally good.
Seeing that Wei Guogong was angry, the old lady of the Wei family immediately came out to play a round: "Okay, this is the New Year, don't be angry with each other." Eat, eat. ”
Chan didn't dare to speak anymore, and glanced at Old Lady Wei gratefully. Everyone waited a little longer, and Wei Lingfeng came back. After entering the lobby, Wei Lingfeng sat down directly beside Wei Ning. Wei Ning saw that he was covered in wind and snow, and thought that he must be resettled as a refugee somewhere in Jingzhou, and he couldn't help but feel secretly distressed.
The maids hurriedly served the tea with their hands and feet, Wei Lingfeng took the tea and rinsed his mouth, and Yang took the lead in taking a big chicken leg from the plate and put it in Wei Lingfeng's bowl, and said: "Feng'er, it's really hard to run around like this for the New Year." If you're hungry, eat a chicken leg. ”
"Mother, I'm fine." Wei Lingfeng smiled, no matter how old he grew, in his mother's heart, he would always be a child.
Wei Ning pursed her lips, she was already surprised by Yang's "doting" behavior.
Who made Wei Lingfeng her only precious son?
When everyone arrived, everyone began to move their chopsticks. The population of the Weiguo Mansion is not complicated, the daughters are basically married, plus the aunt of the Weiguo Gong, there are few people in the total. Although it was a family banquet, because they rarely get together to eat, the reprimand of Wei Guogong to Chan's just now also made everyone stunned and silent.
Wei Guogong saw that everyone's expressions were more solemn, and he didn't want to be too embarrassed to be angry, so he took the lead in asking Wei Lingfeng: "Feng'er, how are those refugees, have they all been settled?" ”
Wei Lingfeng opened his mouth and said, "Most of them have been properly placed. In the past few days, I have been busy building shelters, and I have asked the wealthy merchants of Jingzhou City to donate some materials. ”
"Good work." Wei Guogong said.
Wei Lingfeng shook his head: "These are just expedient measures, and in the long run, they will definitely not work." ”
After coming out of the palace that day, Wei Lingfeng was secretly worried in his heart.
The emperor was not a simple man. From the fact that he has guarded against the queen for many years, let himself design the arrest of Wei Lingyu, and secretly spread the net to find out the people behind the scenes, it can be seen that how could the emperor be controlled by a little concubine so easily?
It was precisely because I didn't believe it that I went into the palace to find out. It's just that the scene of that day was deeply imprinted in Wei Lingfeng's mind, and Wei Lingfeng couldn't figure it out for a while, was the emperor really controlled, or was he just acting?
Wei Lingfeng had always hesitated to tell his father about this. But I feel that if the emperor is just acting, wouldn't he rashly attract attention, wouldn't it ruin a good show directed by the emperor?
"Feng'er?" Wei Guogong saw Wei Lingfeng's solemn face and sat silently. After dinner, everyone was dismissed, and Wei Guogong left Wei Lingfeng alone.
"What's the matter with my father?" Wei Lingfeng said to Wei Guogong.
Wei Guogong was wearing a brown brocade robe embroidered with blessing patterns, he sat behind the bookcase, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and glanced at Wei Lingfeng.
"I seem to see you have a lot on your mind when you just eat. What's wrong? Wei Guogong asked.
Wei Lingfeng shook his head, hesitated again and again in his heart, but still did not tell Wei Guogong what he saw and heard in the palace that day.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
"During the Chinese New Year, I have to worry about those refugees outside, which is naturally tiring. But since he is doing things for the emperor, no matter how tired he is, he has to do it well to live up to the emperor's grace. Wei Guogong said.
"Yes." Wei Lingfeng nodded.
When Wei Guogong said this, his words suddenly changed again: "The last time you entered the palace to face the saint, have you ever seen your brother?" ”
Wei Lingfeng heard Wei Guogong mention Wei Lingyu, and his heart "chuckled". Since Wei Lingyu was taken away by the brocade guards in the palace, Wei Guogong has been very shy about others mentioning Wei Lingyu in front of him. Although this concubine has not been valued by him, he is also surnamed Wei, and if he does such a bold thing, Wei Guogong is also a little afraid that the Wei family will be implicated by him.
Wei Lingfeng pondered his father's expression, and he couldn't tell that what his father said was caring about Wei Lingyu. For a while, he didn't understand why Wei Guogong mentioned his younger brother, so he could only answer honestly: "No." ”
Wei Guogong took another sip of tea from the teacup, and was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "After your brother was arrested by the emperor, the emperor has not been released, I have secretly observed for a long time, and I have not seen any other actions of the emperor. Feng'er, the more this matter drags on, the more uneasy I feel in my heart. ”
Wei Lingfeng frowned, not understanding what his father meant, he looked at Wei Guogong and waited for Wei Guogong to continue.
Wei Guogong hesitated for a moment and continued: "These days, I think about it, Yu'er is really disobedient in this matter. Even if the emperor promised not to implicate the Wei family, he finally fell into a handle. I mean, you see if you want to ......."
Wei Lingfeng stood in front of Wei Guogong, and faintly felt that what Wei Guogong said next would make it difficult for him to face. But he couldn't choose not to listen, so he could only stiffen his body and look at Wei Guogong.
"Otherwise, we will strike first. Yu'er did something wrong after all, even if he found out the main envoy behind the scenes, the emperor would never spare him......"
"Father." Wei Lingfeng didn't dare to continue listening. His palms trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe that the Patriotic Guild would say such a thing.
"Where the emperor has locked up his younger brother, we can't find out at all. As you can see, it is of great use for the emperor to keep his younger brother. If we act rashly, we will hinder the emperor's plan, and it will be harmful to the Wei family. ”
The words Wei Lingfeng said were simple and clear, and immediately dispelled Wei Guogong's thoughts in recent days. Seeing that Wei Guogong's face softened a lot, Wei Lingfeng cautiously said again: "Moreover, Yu'er is my younger brother and our relative after all. Even if he made a mistake, if he sincerely changed his ways, maybe the emperor would open up at that time. ”
Wei Guogong listened to what Wei Lingyu said, his face was very surprised, he looked at Wei Lingfeng and said, "He wanted to put you to death three or four times before, don't you hate him?" ”
Wei Lingfeng was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "Brother has no overnight feud. ”
"Okay." Wei Guogong sighed and said, "Yu'er, we will leave it alone for the time being, and the power will be handed over to the emperor for disposal." It's just that Feng'er, officialdom is not as simple as you think, Dad knows that you are soft-hearted, but you still have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless, even if you are facing your own relatives. ”
It was the first time Wei Lingfeng had heard such words come out of his father's mouth. He felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only respond stubbornly: "Yes." ”
"If my father has nothing else to do, I'll step back first."
Wei Guogong nodded. Wei Lingfeng had just finished saying this, and suddenly the door of the room was knocked open, and when he looked back, he saw Chan rushing in with tears streaming down his face, kneeling in front of Wei Guogong with a "plop", and said, "Master, is what you just said true?" Yu'er he ...... He...... Sure enough, something happened! ”
Wei Guogong's face changed suddenly, and Wei Lingfeng hurriedly walked to the door and closed the door of the room. Looking at this situation, it must have been because the Chan clan was worried about Wei Lingyu and wanted to inquire about Wei Lingyu's news, so they turned back and heard the conversation they had just now.
